What FACTLY found

The BBC article screenshot shared in the post is a morphed one. The Switzerland-based ‘Gallop International’ had never conducted an opinion poll on the world’s most trustworthy politician and ranked Rahul Gandhi. If such an international survey features Rahul Gandhi as claimed in the post, several news websites would have published articles reporting the same. But, we could not find any news article reporting this survey

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.

In short

This claim spread on social media around 28 June 2021. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 12 July 2021, 14 days later. Its rating was “FALSE”.
